The invention comprises an X-ray method and apparatus used in conjunction with charged particle radiation therapy of cancerous tumors. The system uses an X-ray beam that lies in substantially the same path as a charged particle beam path of a particle beam cancer therapy system, has an elongated lifetime, and/or that is synchronized with patient respiration. The system creates an electron beam that strikes an X-ray generation source where the X-ray generation source is located proximate to the proton beam path. By generating the X-rays near the proton beam path, an X-ray path that is essentially the proton beam path is created. Using the generated X-rays, the system collects X-ray images of a localized body tissue region about a cancerous tumor, which are usable for: fine tuning body alignment relative to the proton beam path and/or to control the proton beam path to accurately and precisely target the tumor.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de radiographie utilisés conjointement avec un traitement radiothérapeutique par particules chargées de tumeurs cancéreuses. Le système utilise un faisceau de rayons X qui se situe sensiblement dans le même trajet que celui d'un faisceau de particules chargées d'un système de traitement anticancéreux à faisceau de particules, présente une durée de vie prolongée et/ou est synchronisé avec la respiration du patient. Le système produit un faisceau d'électrons qui frappe une source produisant des rayons X, ladite source se situant à proximité du trajet du faisceau de protons. La production des rayons X à proximité du trajet du faisceau de protons permet de former un trajet de rayons X qui coïncide essentiellement avec celui du faisceau de protons. A l'aide des rayons X produits, le système collecte des images radiographiques d'une région de tissu corporel localisée autour d'une tumeur cancéreuse, lesquelles peuvent servir à aligner avec précision le corps par rapport au trajet du faisceau de protons et/ou à régler le trajet du faisceau de protons afin de cibler précisément la tumeur.
